• Overlap: define whether the recorded waveforms will be printed overlapping or beside each other.
•
Speed: choose the recording print speed.
•
Delay Time: Delayed recordings start documenting on the recorder strip from a pre-set time
before the recording is started. This interval is called the "Delay Time" and can be set as specified
in “Overview of Recording Types” on page 360. This setting can only be changed in Configuration
Mode.
•
Run Time: see how long this type of recording is configured to run. This setting can only be
changed in Configuration Mode. Continuous recordings run indefinitely.
Central Config: if available in the General menu, select this setting to use the recording settings made
for the centrally-connected recorder.
Changing ECG Wave Gain
The ECG Gain setting in the General Recording Setup window defines how every recorded ECG
wave, irrespective of template or recording type, will appear on the recorder strip. This does not affect
the displayed ECG wave, or printed ECG reports. To change the ECG gain setting for recordings,
1 In the Setup Recording menu select General.
2 Select ECG Gain.
3 Select the required setting:
–
Auto: the wave recording will use the same scale as the ECG wave on the monitor screen
–
5 mm/mV, 10 mm/mV, 20 mm/mV: the wave recording will use a scale of 5, 10, or 20
millimeters per millivolt.
Recording Priorities
Manually-started recordings have priority over automatically-started recordings. If an
automatically-triggered alarm recording is running, and a realtime or delayed recording is manually
started, the alarm recording is stopped and the manually-requested recording is started.
More recent manually-started recordings have priority over older manually-started recordings.
If a manually-started recording is running, and another manually-started recording is triggered, then
the older recording is stopped and the more recent manually-started recording is started.
Alarm recordings are prioritized according to alarm priority. If an alarm recording triggered by a
yellow alarm is running and a new alarm recording is triggered by a red alarm, the yellow alarm
recording is stopped and the red alarm recording is started.
Recording Strip
The information printed on the recording strip includes the patient name and MRN, bed number, date
and time of recording, recording speed, and (except when the information is printed above the waves)
recording code. Active alarm and INOP messages as well as numerics for all currently monitored
measurements are also printed.
Recording strip annotations are printed at the beginning of the recording strip, either before or above
the waves depending on the configuration. The annotations are updated at regular intervals, every 15
minutes for recordings made at speeds lower than 6.25 mm/s, and every 60 seconds for recordings
made at speeds greater or equal to 6.25 mm/s. When annotations are configured to appear above the
wave, it may not be possible to print them all when the runtime of the recording is too short.
